Mixed feelings about these lodges, positives were lodges were very clean and in lovely surroundings, easy to walk into Bala (around 20 mins) but disappointed with how the lodges were situated. Our lodge had no privacy at all when using hot tub. It was literally positioned right next to next lodges windows and had no screen or trees so literally people in next lodges were sat in their living room watching us so felt very uncomfortable. Lodges were all situated near to each other so spoilt the surrounding views. Double bed was very small and bedrooms cramped. The lodges were very clean so cant fault that but just disappointed with the lack of privacy with hot tub. Maybe if they put up a screen or planted trees would improve the situation

Visitor Reviews of Pen-y-Garth Lodges
Lovely park and location
We had a lovely stay here and a week was perfect. The cabin was well maintained and cosy, and the hot tub is very private next to the fields. Only things to note were the lack of clear check in instructions and wifi was poor
Beautiful lodge, clean comfortable, and everything you need is already in the lodge, site is also very peaceful and clean, we have recommended this site to friends and family and we are already looking to book for next year. Would give more stars if we could. Excellent in ever way
Lovely lodge. Only criticism is that one of the sofas needs replacing. It's been repaired but was very uncomfortable
Could have done with a dishwasher
Mostly excellent, so well equipped and lovely lay out Superb hot tub, had a very enjoyable stay.
Very tired and worn. Cupboards and shelves were thick in dust. Crockery was all filthy, plates and bowls must have been put away wet as all had puddles on them. Carpet needs replacing throughout. Most window locks were broken off and door was difficult to open and lock. Decking had chicken wire on it to stop you slipping but this was broken and a trip hazard in places. Shower pressure was good though and beds were comfy.
Average lodge. Couch in living room terrible!! Shower power & temp poor. Main shower pointless. Lodge needs a deep clean. Positive - hot tub great
Lodge was comfortable for a family of 4 and we got a very good price for a 4 night stay in the holidays. Hot tub was a great addition which we enjoyed. Was so peaceful and relaxing wish we had stayed longer!
Right next to the park! Perfect size, clean tidy. We even sat and watched the little rabbit!
We have stayed in a lot of these lodges over the last few years, we have yet to find one with comfortable beds. The bath/ shower rooms are just about adequate. Good water pressure which is a bonus. Well equipped but still charging for Internet which most places now have for free.
Fantastic break away, close to Bala and we had a wonderful time. The lodge was lovely although we were right next to the childrens play area, which overlooked us when using the hot tub (lodge no 1) but was not too much of a problem most of the time as it was quite quiet, but would have been nice to have a bit more privacy. overall had a fantastic time and loved the park and lodge. Issues setting up the WiFi initally but reception sorted it straight away when asked. Everyone was lovely and friendly. Would definitely return but may request a lodge further down the site rather than right next to the playground.
Excellent accommodation and facilities and well maintained very impressed a beautiful location and park grounds very clean and tidy. Games room for children could do with an update
Loved the lodge, lots of space on a great park.
Already cant wait to go back , lovely place fantastic lodges and very friendly and helpful staff.
Lovely place, a great base to explore North Wales.Our lodge was modern, clean and had everything we needed, the hot tub was checked by staff every morning which was reassuring. The site was quiet and friendly. Everything was lovely, the whole family loved it. I wouldnt change a thing!
We had a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful weekend at Pen-y-Garth Lodge Park. The lodge was clean and comfortable, although the decor felt somewhat outdated compared to other lodges we have visited in the past. Despite this, the overall surroundings made our stay enjoyable. We will come back.
Weve already booked our next trip, weve been going to Pen Y Garth every year for 9 years and would highly recommend it
Our lodge was amazing, clean and tidy.
Amazing location , and very relaxing .
Fabulous holiday park, very clean and well maintained, lodge was very spacious and lovely little homely touches which make this very comfortable, loved the outside BBQ and fire pit under the paragola with lights and great seating area, also the hot tub was an great addition overlooking the mountains view, the additional seating area with a gate to stop your dog/s escaping which is a reassurance, but down by the BBQ the dog can escape from under the bushes onto the site, just a little mention by al means its a fabulous holiday park and very close to lake a steam train just 5 minutes down the road and a town 10 mins away by car highly recommend ????????????????????
Booked at short notice and certainly ticked all the boxes great location for exploring the local areaMany thanks
Lodge needs updating
When arriving at the sight office was closed, we never received an email to say which lodge we was in or anything else. Call site care taker and was very helpful and got us sorted very quickly.The lodge was stunning in and out couldnt say a bad word about the place easy to find and great parking. The hot tube was the highlight of the evening with a glass or two of winesThe village and water activities near by was amazing, definitely will be booking again soon for longer.
The bedrooms did smell of cigarettes but staff attending and sprayed air freshener for us. This didnt spoil our enjoyment of the lodge.
All in all a nice setting but the cleanliness needs looking at. Floors utensils and equipment need checking . Checking bedside tables from previous guests. 1 draw in particular was most disgusting with items that should have been discarded. Ideal for the whole family or friends
Would stay in the lodge again, amazing, clean and well looked after and would recommend
Very spacious and clean. Probably twice the width of a static caravan and can sleep six comfortably. Everything you need in a kitchen is supplied and the hot tub was fantastic.
An amazing lodge with all the facilities you could need and an amazing hot tub to relax in throughout the day
We loved our holiday here
Had a lovely stay at Pen Y Garth lodges with 2 adults, 2 children and a dog. The park is a lovely peaceful park with a children play area and indoor games room along with a small shop for essentials.
The park is a great base to explore the local area with Bala Lake only 5 minutes away, along with Bala town with a number of pubs and shops.
Barmouth beach is only 45 minutes drive away and is lovely for a visit.
Brilliant lodges, excellent venue, can say it was the best Park we've stayed on. Very impressed ?
A great break with kids with sufficient facilities on site to keep us occupied at night and close enough to many great locations such as Bala, Barmouth etc for great days out.
Lodge is absolutely beautiful, as is the site. It has everything you could possible need in the accommodation. Ideally situated for exploring all day, with the added bonus of the hot tub to chill after a long day.
None of us wanted to come home.
Lovely luxurious lodges, beautiful surroundings very peaceful, Only issues I had were you can’t check in till 4.30 so the first day as gone and you have to be out by 9am far to early especially when you have to strip bedding, Put towels in laundry bags, empty all the bins as well as packing your car up and getting everyone fed and out by 9am, When I asked why they said due to cleaning and Covid etc it could take 3 hours per lodge to clean, which I do understand, but there was bags of water balloons from previous guests stuffed down the back of the side cabinet so not been cleaned / checked over properly. I wasn’t looking for anything to moan about I found them purely because we had problems with the Wi-Fi so I looked see we had the right plugs plugged in. Other than that it was a beautiful week in a beautiful Lodge - They just need to tweak the times of check in and check outs and it would be 10/10
This is a quiet, tranquil park - been a few times and will continue to visit.
Stayed in Lodge 53. Great as the hot tub is a but more secluded. The lodge was huge and had no issues. The park is well kept and has some amazing views. It's less than a 5 min drive into Bala. Would highly recommend this parc and will definitely be back.
Lovely park but could do with a little shop and maybe a bar/restaurant on as there’s not many places to eat the lodges themselves are excellent
